Big day for Southern Nomads

Huge test against Douglas in cup final

Southern Nomads will play in the Manx Rugby Cup Final for the first ever time this afternoon.

They face a mighty task against Douglas who thrashed long-time rivals Vagabonds on Thursday evening by a record score of 119-3.

Nomads pulled off a shock win over Ramsey in the semi-finals and will hope there is fatigue in the Douglas ranks after three matches in a week.

Beforehand, Emerging Nomads play Western Vikings at 1.30pm in the Shimmin Wilson Manx Bowl Final.

Both matches are at Port-e-Chee.
